Original Title: "Il patinait merveilleusement"
Text: Paul Verlaine
Year: 1964
He was ice-skating marvellously
Rushing forward, only impetuously!
Coming back so prettily really
Thin like a tall young girl
Bright, vivacious and strong, like a needle
Suppleness, momentum of an eel.
Prestigious optical games
A delicious torment of the eyes,
A lightning that would be graceful
Sometimes he remained like invisible
Speed on its way toward a target
So distant, itself invisible…
Invisible alike today
What would have happened of him?
What would have happened of him?
